Brass Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hey, I'm a student there!As for a logo, I like the fonts and the secondary, but the devil face seems as friendly and cartoony as the one we currently have. I'd like something a little more "demonic". Otherwise, nice work! On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 To me the blue devil of duke is iconic, this one reminds me of the depaul blue demons a bit too much.

gordie_delini Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Have to say I thought DePaul as well seeing this. Matt, I've noticed you're a big fan of Letterhead Fonts and use them for a lot of your stuff. Is that Brewer's Bold I spot there? Honestly, this is a great start, but it's not quite there yet. Have to agree that I'd never picture a devil smiling at me. I might like to see a charging demon coming from a 3/4 profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I honestly think the lowest script looks the best; simple and clean without the two toned blue. I agree with the others, saying that the devil is too friendly looking, but the eyes could be worked with a bit more as well. Great start though.

Ben5 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Upgrade over what they have now, because what they have now is terrible. Wordmark is good, CC is good. The devil face, as previously said, needs a little work. Make it look more evil, and you have a good package.I live a few miles away from CCSU, coincidentally.

I might like to see a charging demon coming from a 3/4 profile.Can you blame him? The stuff there is amazing! I wish I had more work coming in right now cos there is a ton of fonts I'd get from there but money's tight just now and cant really justify dropping $200 - $300 on fonts that sadly I dont think I'll get the opportunity to use on anything other than concepts (not many of my clients are that adventurous/creative) which is just a hobby.

Lights Out Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Overall very nice, but I couldn't help but notice that the end of your "triton spear" thing uses the "C" from the font you used for two of its points. Clever, but it makes the script read "CENTRAL CONNECTICUTC" instead of "CENTRAL CONNECTICUT."Also agree that the devil needs to look a lot fiercer, as one of the main complaints about their current logo is that it's too friendly to be a demon.

Ted Cunningham Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Overall very nice, but I couldn't help but notice that the end of your "triton spear" thing uses the "C" from the font you used for two of its points. Clever, but it makes the script read "CENTRAL CONNECTICUTC" instead of "CENTRAL CONNECTICUT."Also agree that the devil needs to look a lot fiercer, as one of the main complaints about their current logo is that it's too friendly to be a demon.If anything, that makes it say "CONNECTICUTE." However, with it being a different color and size, I don't read it that way at all. It says Central Connecticut with the business end of a pitchfork poking out of the right side.I think the devil needs to be simplified in general. The expression he's wearing really doesn't bother me much. But there seems to be an overabundance of highlights and lines and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkdesign Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Wow... I didn't see Depaul at all. I thought that was sharper and more demon-y. I wanted mine to seem more like a man. I do think the comment about the lines makes sense. I do worry about it shrinking down. I Did use the C for the Trident. I thought that make it feel connected, that's actually why I chose that font. It's Brewer Bold. I usually chose a font and then design around that (I know that is not the classic way).

dgthree Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I like the simple locking CC they currently have, but I think this is an upgrade, everything but the devil head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
